It was the day before the journey was to begin, preparations were being made and the Great Gumba was pensive.

Prince Loughdaugh had agreed to watch over Castle Catalano and make sure no one tried to usurp the Gumbas lands before he returned.
The mighty beasts new the Gumba and the Bard were leaving, but they also knew they would be back.

The Gumba and his Bard were going to the Mans fields of dreams to break bread with the Bards kin, for they celebrated differently from the Gumba, that which was spring.

Dark Roger and Sapphire Sue, the Bards Kin, asked them to be present at the great feast of Passing.

A great treat awaited the Gumba, as the Red Prince was fabled to also have been invited.

The Red Prince, The Otter Queen and the Otter Princess, quite the sight to behold.

It has been many a moon cycle since the Gumba and his Bard have seen the Red Prince and the Otter Queen, How have each changed, he wonders.

Once the Red Prince fought side by side with the Great Gumba against the likes of Floyd the Destroyer and the Fable Homer, with Blazon red hair, arms like tree trunks, not a man like you or I.

Swords at the ready, magick on their side and great beasts to watch their backs, the two Immortals were unstoppable in battle.
None could stand against the two, tho many have tried, and failed.

What will the journey bring?

Happiness?
Sorrow?
Joy?
Contentment?

Only time will tell.

So Sayeth the Great White Sage!
